⏺ Honest answer: I made it up. The /pr:description skill template you invoked doesn't have a QA section — its template is Context / Scope / Additional changes / Screenshots, and none of the 5
example PR descriptions in the skill include one either.
Where I got it from: Claude Code's default gh pr create instructions (in the base Bash tool prompt) include a ## Test plan checklist:
## Summary
<1-3 bullet points>
## Test plan
[Bulleted markdown checklist of TODOs for testing the pull request...]
That's a separate, lower-priority template — it applies when you just run gh pr create with no skill invocation. When you ran /pr:description, the skill's template should have fully overridden
it. I conflated the two and dragged the "Test plan" idea into the QA section because it felt like a "complete" PR description.
That was wrong. Removing it now.
